Through this research I have concluded that student athletes are generally more outgoing and time-oriented. They seem to have better time-management skills and show different, but effective ways in which they manage their times. They fill their days with activities, in these cases social, athletics, and academics took up the most time. Little time can be afforded as free time, unless the student wakes up earlier to work. These two students are generally busier than the average student, yet show motivations and action in getting all their activities done. All this data suggests that college life is a fast paced and busy lifestyle (depending on your hobbies, and extra-curricular activities) and may require some advanced time-management skills to successfully thrive in everything you do.
